WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/13 -- Metalogix, the leading provider of content infrastructure software to improve the use and performance of enterprise content on Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and Cloud platforms, today announced that Metalogix StoragePoint has been validated as part of an EMC® VSPEX Proven Infrastructure offering for SharePoint.

Metalogix StoragePoint is the leading Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) product that externalizes SharePoint content to improve overall TCO, boost speed and simplify backup. StoragePoint moves unstructured SharePoint data, known as Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), from the SQL Server to affordable external storage tiers, including SAN, NAS or the Cloud. StoragePoint shrinks full SharePoint backup times by automatically and continuously backing up externalized BLOBs.

VSPEX enables customers to combine their choice of industry-leading applications, such as SharePoint and StoragePoint, server, network, and virtualization with EMC's VNX family of unified storage and next generation backup and recovery technology. By leveraging and integrating technologies such as Remote BLOB Storage (RBS), data deduplication, compression and EMC Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST), customers will benefit from simplified administration and lower costs.
